  • If you had anything you wouldn't still be fucking around in the Monero spaces defending yourself saying anything and everything except actually demonstrating that you're not full of shit.

    Does anyone know of a paid torrent seed box service that has a transmission RPC endpoint and takes Monero for payment?

    Title. I'd love to be able to pay someone xmr for access to upload torrents using the transmission CLI.

  • He's got 2 articles about how none of the accusations are true. He just couldn't figure out how to link them in here, just like he can't figure out how to release the source code he supposedly has so he can get paid.

    Here's his drivel if you want to read it https://kewbit.org/kewbit-responds-to-creator-of-basicswapdex-com-ofrnxmr/ https://kewbit.org/addressing-the-false-proclamation-of-exit-scamming-allegations-by-basicswapdex/

    I say, ditch sunk cost fallacy and call this a 75 XMR lesson. Nobody needs to trifle with this guy any longer.

  • An offer that's on the book is on the book. If the person who made it wants to take it down they can. If it's still there you can take it.

    Of course they do. Not all of them, but they do. Just like grocery stores to 10% off stuff they want gone. If someone needs to sell fast, the best incentive is a little discount.

  • Letely, the price is going up but many of those offers may have been made a day ago or something.

    Also, some people may be willing to take a little haircut to get the trade done fast. This is how price discovery works on an order book, spreads should get smaller as liquidity goes up

  • Strong network effects wise, no. Price wise, no. Age wise, no. But tech wise, you've got firo, arrr, wownero. They're not really competitors because of all the ways Monero dominates, but they could serve the purposes Monero serves as private money for people really well if people wanted to use them.

  • Well, the concept of a ban list seems ripe for abuse. We have to trust someone to tell us canonically who the bad nodes are, people can slap a fed honeypot node label on you for not going along with something.

    What we need to do is design the system such that a bad node can do nothing but participate in the network. Just like the mining incentive structure with nakamoto consensus. Dandelion++ is supposed to do that, at least for everyone broadcasting their transactions only to initial nodes they know and trust. I don't know how to do that, but a blacklist is a dangerous stopgap.

  • Just use obtainium and begin to move away from app stores. Any git repository on any server (doesn't have to be github, could be a gitlab, gitea or forgejo server) that does compiled APK releases for your hardware can be used as a source repo with obtainium, no need for all the overhead any of the app stores require.

  • localcoinswap.com as cash by mail option?

  • Dude quit trying to ascribe reasons. Nobody knows, we have pet theories, maybe they fit the empirically observed phenphenomena, maybe not. You see one too many news sites saying "bitcoin breaks 95k as fed reduces interest rates" and think there's some formula or magic ball or insiders or something, every article like that is lies and paid propaganda. we don't know.

    We can deduce though, since XMR appears to fluctuate not entirely in lock step with bitcoin, that it's short term demand changes are not for the same reasons, or by the same people, as bitcoin. My pet theory is that after spikes in btc and ETH and what not, people sell, and a lot of that gets moved through XMR to break the links. That's been my hypothesis for a few years now for why xmr appears to spike in between bitcoin or ETH jumps, and so my mental model predicts that a spike in btc will often be followed by a spike in xmr, so it's predictive and therefore should be empirically testable.

    IPTV m3u playlists?

    I'm looking for one (or many) m3u playlists that aren't, shall we say, existing easy to find perfectly legal playlists of public streams. Things like channels that show f1 races, football games, cable channels, stuff you'd generally not get easy access to.

    Does anyone know where I can find IPTV playlists with stuff like that?

    There are currently multiple Haveno networks

    At least 2 separate Haveno networks have launched as of today. One is called Reto and the other is called HardenedSteel. Those are the only ones I'm aware of right now, and things are happening pretty fast.

    The haveno software was designed with the assumption that only a single network would be operated. People could fork it and run their own networks, but they wouldn't interact directly at all. But it looks to me as of this moment this is not how it is going to play out.

    The client has the network info hard coded. So to use more than one, you need two copies of the client. This means that for most people they have to pick one. And, users might not understand this, just google "haveno" and pull the first git repo they see. This has significant, fast moving and quickly ossifying network effects with big repercussions.

    We need to be very vigilant right now, as we are about to witness the very swift rise of a major power broker in our community. We don't want to start using a Haveno ne

    Which instant exchanges DON'T use Binance for liquidity?

    Specifically ones listed on kycnot.me. I'm asking (as I'm sure you can guess) because I'm considering buying some XMR via a swap or two and I don't want to get my funds stuck indefinitely.

    Bitcoin is going to fail

    You can talk about bitcoin in any bitcoin specific spaces on the internet. You ever noticed that? You can talk about Austrian economics, you can talk about price, you can talk about influencers, you can talk about hardware wallets, but if you try to ever go into technical details about bitcoin to discuss their strengths and weaknesses you get called a shitcoin shill big blocker trying to ruin it's decentralization and probably also get banned. This is in every bitcoin specific space, the subreddit, stacker.news, bitcointalk, everywhere. You can't actually discuss bitcoin with bitcoin people.

    And this is a problem. It means that no technical innovation whatsoever can happen on bitcoin. It means that they're like a herd of buffalo headed for a cliff at full speed.

    That wouldn't be a problem if bitcoin was perfect. But it isn't. There's a huge, huge problem in bitcoin that I wrote a post about here https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8pzrkesjnfcws3whvjya0l9n68dx8q7sg69lhyc7dyusahe4x3rgpp4mhxue

    It is becoming harder to move your capital into cryptocurrency than it is to move it out.

    I've been noticing this lately. If you want to buy Monero or other cryptocurrencies, you have to KYC, set up accounts, have a bank account, wire money, all that stuff.

    However, if you want to spend it or sell it there are a plethora of options, as simple as buying a prepaid card, or just doing business with people that accept it directly.

    Bonus: once your capital is in Monero or Bitcoin or something, moving it around is relatively easy with swap services, atomic swaps and the like. Even p2p services, you don't have to worry about PayPal, bank accounts, cash in the mail or any of that. Once your capital is internet native you're golden.

    This is a sign to me that it's more valuable than fiat and people are seeing that. Now it makes more (practical, tangible) sense to get all your capital into cryptocurrency than keeping it in fiat and just buying cryptocurrency when you need it, as it was a few years ago. If you can get all your capital into Monero or something, you can easily get f

    I would guess this is due to the Mali government taking control of the .ml TLD, but whatever it is means I cannot get the CSV file for a search.

    Is there a mirror somewhere that I can use? This was my main way of searching torrents.

    Is the rslashmonero experiment funneling our community back to Reddit inadvertantly?

    Something to think about. It is pointless to interact with any of those posts directly here, so as a result they get no engagement. They're just links to Reddit, and I feel like they're just funnelling engagement back there. I can't help but notice, possibly incorrectly, that activity here sharply dropped as soon as that bot went active.

    If we want the content here, wouldn't it make more sense to pull non self post content directly and post it as a first class Lemmy post here without linking to the reddit post?

    If our goal is to make this the new Monero home, wouldn't a better approach be adding this site to the sidebar on the subreddit, or having automod inform every poster about it's existence? Is moving here even our goal anymore?

    Feedposter - a configurable bot that checks RSS/Atom feeds periodically and posts to Lemmy.

    I figured I'd post this here so that people can know about it. If it is against the rules mods please let me know.

    To make this project succeed we need content. There are other RSS to Lemmy bots out there, but they are all difficult to use. This one is easy; the configuration file is pretty self explanatory and the options make it easy to get content onto many Lemmy instances and communities.

    Let me know what you think, feedback/comments, and of course feel free to open an issue in the issue tracker for the repo.

    Lemmy Feedposter: an easy to configure bot to post RSS feeds to Lemmy

    I built this specifically for monero.town, but anyone can use it anywhere. It is pretty easy to configure, all the info is in the readme and there's an example configuration file to get you started using it.

    Feel free to aso me any questions you want, recommendations, and also feel free to open issues in the repo.

    Anybody considering running a news bot that posts on this site?

    I could build it, but I don't currently have a VPS or other server to run it. A bot that posted whenever Revuo Monero, The Monero Standard, etc would go a long way towards making this place the only place you need to go for Monero news and information.
